Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 23, 1998
I find it very curious the things they say are in their bill, which, in fact, are not in their bill. One, they say that a woman can pick as a primary care physician an ob/gyn. Second, they advertise that this means you have access to the emergency room. Third, they talk about continuity of doctors so they say you can choose your doctor. And fourth, they say no gag rule. This is the party of gag rule, and now they say no gag rule. I kind of respected them when they were just flat out saying they were just against any of this. Does the Senator have an explanation as to why they would pick the four most often stated complaints of the American public and suggest that their bill covers those things?

Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false.
